Each of the Pre-Major Tracks within the A.A. degree (listed below) is designed to provide students with a listing of the core courses needed in preparation to transfer within that major. Courses within specific tracks may count as either electives or in the appropriate MnTC Goal.
Any student completing all of the MnTC requirements and any of the Pre-Major Tracks will fall within the guidelines to complete a general A.A. degree. Careful planning with an academic counselor is strongly advised to tailor any of the Pre-Major Tracks to meet the requirements of the student?s chosen four-year college or university.
